The Premier
Elite Female Goaltending Program
Top Prospects Goaltending is proud to lead the way in goaltender development with our High Performance Female Division — one of the only programs of its kind dedicated exclusively to advancing female goaltenders. We recognize the unique differences and demands of the women’s game and tailor our training to meet the specific technical, tactical, and mental aspects of the position.
Our athletes have achieved success at the Olympics, National Team, PWHL, PWHPA, PHF, NCAA, USPORT, Hockey Alberta, Hockey BC, and AFHL levels. To date, 12 goaltenders who have trained with Top Prospects Goaltending have gone on to play professionally in the PWHL, and countless others have obtained NCAA and U Sport scholarships, which is a testament to the strength and effectiveness of our program.
Through female-specific camps, private training, and semi-private sessions, Top Prospects Goaltending continues to set the standard in helping female goaltenders reach their highest potential.
